Benzofuran-, benzothiophene-, indazole- and benzisoxazole-quinones: Excellent substrates for NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1
摘要:
A series of heterocyclic quinones based on benzofuran, benzothiophene, indazole and benzisoxazole has been synthesized, and evaluated for their ability to function as substrates for recombinant human NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1), a two-electron reductase upregulated in tumor cells. Overall, the quinones are excellent substrates for NQO1, approaching the reduction rates observed for menadione. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
